Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound hot or mild Italian sausage 3 pieces
1 onion chopped
2 garlic cloves minced
6 cups chicken broth
1 bay leaf
1 9-ounce package cheese tortellini (dried or fresh)
3 ounces 3 cups baby spinach
Salt and pepper

Instructions

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in Dutch oven over medium high heat. Add sausages and cook, rolling occasionally, until browned all over, about 8-10 minutes. Transfer to paper towel-lined plate.
Using the same pot (add more oil if needed),add onion and cook over medium heat until softened, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in broth and bay leaf, scraping up any browned bits, and bring to boil.
Slice sausage ½ inch thick and add to the pot. Stir in tortellini and simmer over medium heat until pasta is tender, 10-12 minutes. Stir in spinach and cook until just wilted, about 1 minute. Discard bay leaf. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve and enjoy!
